    4.0 out of 5 stars This book makes healthy eating accessible, May 25, 2012

    This book read my mind. With a young child at home, I'm forever thinking about ways to prepare healthy meals that she'll be happy to eat without just having the same things over and over. I always try to make healthy food, but sometimes I'm pretty low on inspiration. This book makes healthy eating accessible (I might even consider buying quinoa, whatever that is). It even has some helpful menu plans. Plus, it's divided into sections called "Breakfast," "Lunch," and "Dinner" so it's easy to find ideas in a hurry (oh hey, just like the title!).

    I purchased this set out of guilt. I bought Akira and Aedan, the counting cookie jar, and the "matching" donuts. And thought, OMGosh, I better get some blended food choices. I have to say, it's small, but highly educational. Its great to teach your child, how to cook and well as their colors. Very vibrant colors and realistic. Very good buy. The price is fair, considering the quality.

    My daughter loves, loves, loves this toy. She watches her mama make a salad every night, so now she has her own salad to pretend with. I think it's great that she can play with something that represents healthy eating too. The product is half felt fabric and half wood, which doesn't bother me. I think it is good to mix textures. I think the amount of veggies is just fine. If there was anymore added, it would just get lost. It's particularly cute when she plates her salad for all of her dolls to eat.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good size - great quality, January 18, 2007
    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This review is from: Learning Resources Pretend and Play Healthy Food Snacks Set (Toy)
    We purchased the item hoping that it would be of reasonable size, meaning the food would be closer to "real" size rather than miniature. It was. We also hoped it would be made well and stand up to hopefully more than one generation of use. That remains to be seen, but the stuff is made well and I cannot see it breaking unless you deep-freeze the plastic pieces and hit them with a hammer. Nice texture, nice flexibility, pretty realistic looks. The child it was intended for (age 4 and a bit) plays happily with it, even the older boys (10 and 13) have had a few moments of goofy fun with it.

    I bought this as a Christmas gift for my neice. I liked that it was food that mimics what we eat, and not the set with an abundance of junk food or canned food. I only saw the online images. For this price, I was expecting more. It came in a plastic bag, and looked like dollar store plastic. The other food by the same company looks like it comes in a little basket, this one does not. It does not come with a cutting board either.

    The Learning Resources Pretend and Play Healthy Food Snacks Set is just great. Everything looks so realistic that I have literally had to take them out of my boys' mouths during play! They just can't help themselves from wanting to take a bite. We also got the breakfast food set and the sandwich set - we LOVE this food!
